Ronhai: An Adventure Begins IC

((The tunnels collapsed. That's why the floor died.))

Skorupi dug deeper, until it reached salt water. He dug no further. He started upwards after using Acupressure again several times, shooting straight up towards Piplup for a full-on bite.

((Ah.))

"Something warm and fast is coming our way! Piplup, just like we practiced!"

Piplup nodded, and began glowing pure white.

((No, not evolution.))

((No der.))

Skorupi got up, saw the glowing Piplup, and fired off several rounds of Pin Missile and went in for a few Bites. "Will this work?"

At that moment, Piplup let loose with Bide.

And a huge explosion let loose, too.

((No, Piplup didn't fart.))

((No der.))

Skorupi was blasted backwards. It did not get up. "And the gym battle goes to Dante Cheor of Palmleaf Village!"

"Here's your Swarm Badge and Cut. That was a great battle; you were a lot tougher than Sam over there."

Dante smiled. "And you weren't too shabby yourself, Clint." he said, taking the badge, placing it into his high-tech (compared to Sam's) badge case.

((This is one of the ways Dante tries to outdo Sam, if you haven't guessed.))

Placing Cut into his pack, he waved back at Clint, and then smiled at Sam.

((Piplup will be evolving soon....))

((NO WAY!!! to all of the above.))

Sam had been watching. I really should get some of that stuff. "You go ahead and train some more, I'll be going to the Pokemart."

((Sarcasm on those?))

Dante nodded. "Hey, don't you like Breloom?" he shouted after his friend.

((NO WAY!!! again.))

"Yeah, I know there's some in the Craith Forest. But I want to stop by the Pokemart first."

((Why would he not know where is favorite Pokemon is?))

Dante nodded. He had already gotten the Pokemon he wanted from there.

((I'm going to update the OP's on the OOC and IC so we can continue.))

((Good. I'll be buying some of that stuff.))

Supposedly there was an area tech store around the market district. He found it and went in, getting the Poketch that Dante had been messing with earlier, if cheaper-looking.

((Nothing can compare to Dante's Poketech!

......

Remember, this is all in good humor.))

Dante was using his Poketech as a Pokedex of sorts, checking his Pokemon's stats.

((Sam's compares, it just doesn't look as good.))

He went out and bought some apps, all cheap. He could make it look better later. He had no idea gyms paid so much.
"Now, time to go out and catch a Shroomish!" He wanted to get Spore in before he evolved it.

((Nice, yet lame, reference to a game.))

Dante looked up. "All right, lets get going!"

((Spore is a move, but I knew you'd try to punnify it.))

"All right! How do you like my new watch? It has all the apps I saw you use."

Dante smiled. "I'm sure it has every single one I have." he said sarcastically. He had gotten several new ones for his birthday. Ones that definitely would help him on his journey... Oddly, one was called Serebii. He never really got that name.

((I LOVE BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!))

((Fail.))

"I got this really weird one called Serebii. It seems to have all of the Pokemon in the world, and it shows updates on stuff that I didn't know existed. There's this little blur on the edg of the screen that it calls the Fourth Wall... What do you think of it?"

"I'm not sure... But I'm fairly certain that we aren't supposed to be breaking it right now." Dante replied, and put his pack back on. "Lets go."

(())

"You're probably right." Sam took off.

Dante rolled his eyes, and picked up his Eevee. His Starly flew above him, Aipom on his back, and Pipup at his side.

Say, I'd like one of those Aipom. I'll catch it when I get my Shroomish. Of course, once he entered the forest, none other than an Aipom fell on his head. "Quick, Eevee, use Bite!" Catching the Aipom's hand-tail, it fell over and a Pokeball quickly caught it.

Dante walked in shortly after this, and he rolled his eyes. "Nice." he said, and then turned to the side. "Piplup, lets get to training!"

Aipom, after a quick Potion, was ready to help catch a Shroomish. After wandering around and training all three of his Pokemon, a Shroomish peeked out behind a tree. "Pidgeo, Wing Attack!" Shroomish fell over, was caught, and was named Shroomba.
Oh, the Aipom was named Handy.

Dante walked up with a newly-evolved Prinplup behind him. "Hey. Hows it going?"

"Oh, just a Shroomish and an Aipom."
